Hello!
I’m a game designer and leader who is very fortunate to have had a long game industry career. Over the past 17 years, I’ve been able to work on a wide variety of game types, platforms, engines, and technologies - AAA block busters, open worlds, mobile games, social games, VR games, and even theme park attractions! I even started my own indie studio and self-published a game on PC and Nintendo Switch.

While I’ve been focused on game and level design for over a decade, I’ve had many roles over the years that have helped me learn a great deal about making games. My journey started as a game server programmer and I worked my way “up the stack” to gameplay programmer, then game designer, then level designer, and now a world builder and leader.

I’ve worked with several different teams, made many friends, and learned several different game production processes along the way.


Why is all of this important?
As a generalist, I’m quick to learn, adapt, and leverage all of that experience to mold whatever we are making into something fantastic. My varied experiences also help me see the bigger picture, see how things can be put together, and often anticipate roadblocks before we hit them so we can course correct in time.

This wide variety of skills and experiences also help make me a better leader and mentor. I’ve been a discipline lead as well as a game director multiple times and received great feedback from my peers. I’ve also mentored other designers and helped guide several to fulfilling career goals.  As a leader, I strive to be empathetic and serve those I lead to help us all achieve greatness.

I love learning new things, growing, and pouring my passion into making games. I hope to keep doing it for many years to come.

Outside of making games, I love playing trumpet & flugelhorn, cooking, coffee, tea, wine, craft beer, cats, travel, cycling, comics, going to Comic Cons, board games, and of course, video games!
